I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm Nate. I live in a house in Westport with my two roomates, who happen to be my best friends... To me, perfection is: to get home, hug the dog (always furry and warm), grab a beer (usually cold), sit in my recliner (extremely old), kick way back, pet the dog (still furry), click on the big-screen (High-Def), find some amusing episode of scrubs to watch (they're all amusing), and know that things can always, ALWAYS get much worse. Then I spill my beer. Then I reach for the paper towels. And you know what? 9 times out of 10, I don't spill any more beer in the process, manage to keep the dog from spilling any more beer, and no one dies... Now to me, that's a pretty a good day. My dog's name is Cooper. That's important, 'cause I love dogs. I like to have conversations, and I place a high value on the intellectual ones. I read way too much. I'm agnostic, but I think "Judge not lest ye be judged" and "do unto others..." are good basic guidelines. Certianly nothing to start a Jihad over. I'm not a real fan of most canned processed meat-based food-products- unless they use all types of animals. I deplore meat discrimination, and beleive endangered animals taste better: that's why they're endangered! I can't stand politics (though Nader is cool, 'cause he's a robot, and he built the pyramids in egypt. and he can make himself invisible.)... Most important, always treat everyone as you would want to be treated. No matter how difficult it is, be Honest, be Rational, and never forget that if you're hurting, someone you love probably is too. Try to suspend disbelief more- you don't do it enough. And I still think a Bald Eagle omlet would be awesome. Breakfast anyone?.. width="425" height="350" ..

My Interests

I like to Race stuff. Mostly my Cr-x but I'll have fun with anything fast. Jet Skis are most fun. I'll make this a list: Climbing, Driving, Diving, Skating, Paintball, Sitting on my recliner, Frisbee, Puffin' Down, Aquiring Knowledge, Watching TV, Playing with Cooper!, Poker, Synchronized Water Polo-(ok, I don't even know if that exists...), Mocking Canadians and the French, Talking, Skiing (especially in Canada), Practical Jokes, Fireworks, Impractical Jokes, Reading (lots of anything- except the fucking tabloid-celebrity-whos-who magazines.) I am least interested in the lives of celebrities than any other topic. Oh, and Grilling. mmmm, grill...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who isn't bitter at the world because it's not fair. Just because the world isn't working for you, dosen't mean you should work against the rest of the world. (I don't like philosophy very much, so consider that an opinion.) And as far as I'm concerned, you can't actually love or hate a person you don't really know. This goes for Michael Moore, George Bush, or Angelina Jolie because "that bitch stole Brad from Jen!" So basically anyone who truly thinks before using things like words and sentences... and you can't hate pot... width="425" height="350" ..

For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.  ~Author Unknown

Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.  ~Marcus Antonius
